      I have always wondered this:
      1). What's the weight of an empty refer trailer and then the tractor?
      2). If someone says I'm loaded with 40,000lbs that's just the load and doesn't count the weight of the actual trailer and tractor?

      if a train has a reverse gear I’d tell the train company to throw it in reverse while ur hooked with the trailer! Have a walkie with the conductor etc and should drive forward and let the train proceed etc

      Regardless of what the law might say, the bigger vehicle has right of weight. Even a small train beats anything on wheels, just like big trucks beat passenger vehicles.

      The title bugs me because I'd consider it a dumb question. Kinda like asking if water is wet. Then again, common sense seems to be getting less and less common. Seeing as this one is a helper, they might have had someone at this end, but seeing how short it is (not blocking the next street) even from that end, it's not like they couldn't see the truck or a person.

    If you want to find out what happened, ask the foolish driver who tried to beat the train. These accidents can't ever be the train’s fault because they don't have the ability to swerve to avoid the trucks.

    Remote Control Locomotive refers to the locomotive being set up for remote control (not automated, actually under the control of a guy) with a remote controller, within visual range. This is generally so the operator can stand somewhere where he can actually see what he's doing when reversing into train cars all day long. Those locomotives are used within rail yards to switch cars. Not sure *exactly* where you're at there, but there's a good chance it was technically inside a railyard. The guy (possibly by himself, and even if he wasn't the other guy can't drive) operating the locomotive within the yard would have been scooted off to go pee in a cup as soon as the scene was rendered safe, and you likely had to wait for another crew (at least an engineer and conductor, looks like you might have somebody from mechanical too) to get dragged over.

    In answer to your question, yes, locomotive's can be remotely controlled. In situations where there are very long trains with very heavy loads, a remotely controlled locomotive(s) will be placed mid manifest or at the end to help push the heavy train up a steep grade, or help brake going down hill. These remotely controlled assist locomotive's are called "DPUs" Directed Power Units. In very rare occasions they may be manned. I hope this info helps.

    15:00 By automated, I think that what they mean is that a single train often has multiple locomotive that that all of them are run by just one conductor. Hence, the remote function is used to get all of the locomotives to work as a single unit.

    While working as a school police officer in So. Cal., my partner and I one night heard a call of a train vs. tractor trailer rig at a busy grade crossing in our area. We arrived on the north side of the train while the other responding units arrived on the south side. We closed the nearest large intersection until we were relieved by the California Highway patrol. As we drove toward the grade crossing, we both noticed the odor of chocolate in the air. As we neared the trailer that was almost cut in half by the train, we noticed that the trailer was loaded with hundreds if not thousands of nestle quick containers. There was cocoa mix on the street for days!

    The train *could* be operated by remote control, but I'm pretty sure it wasn't. If it were being pushed, the conductor has to "ride the shove" while the engineer operates the train from the rear. Looking at the site in the video, it looks like the engineer either went in to emergency, or applied the brakes as soon as he could. The momentum of the train pushed it in to the trailer.
    "That was sketch!"
    *That* was an understatement. That whole frame looked like it could come apart at any second. I think you did a great job on the recovery-especially with the damaged landing gear.

    Those are equipped with remote control for use within a rail yard or switching out industries and such. They have a bunch of RC gear fitted in the nose, and the operator will have a belt pack that looks similar to the one you use for controlling the rotators. I suspect the original crew was probably out getting d*** tested and they had to grab a new crew off the extras board or something like that.

    A train isn't remote controlled by an remote for safety purposes, but it has that warning there because it has a feature that allows an locomotive (the lead locomotive) to link up with other locomotives, it also tells what the other locomotives being pulled by the lead locomotive how much to accelerate so you don't need anyone controlling the other locomotives. (I might be wrong tho)

    I believe the train did try to swerve out of the way

    Ok. Just an outsider veiw. Could you have put a chain behind the landing gear on frame then to front inline with the pin? This may have helped with there being no wall support. The chain would have been between the strap and trailer, also it would have help hold the landing gear to tow.

    Would love to see in your review at the end you include how long the job took and maybe estimated costs

    This has to piss off the railway to no end. As a driver, some accidents...okay...things happen, especially in a long career. This however, is not something that should ever happen, there is no excuse.

    The under spreader bar could ether be pipe or square tube so you could use the angle bars

      Nothing for the angle bar to lift on- floor and wall destroyed on the right side.
